2005IAUC.8513....2M

N. Morrell, M. Hamuy, G. Folatelli, and C. Contreras, Carnegie Supernova Project, report that spectroscopic observations (range 380-930 nm) of SN 2005bh (cf. IAUC 8509) and SN 2005bj (cf. IAUC 8511) were obtained on Apr. 12.14 and 12.35 UT, respectively, with the Las Campanas 2.5-m du Pont telescope (+ WFCCD spectrograph). The spectrum of SN 2005bh is that of a type-Ic supernova and strongly resembles that of SN 1987M at 10 days after maximum light. SN 2005bj is probably also a type-Ic object, quite similar to SN 1994I at 10-12 days after maximum, except for the Si II 635.5-nm line, which is much stronger in the new event.
